Teacher and School Services

The Crystal Lake Public Library provides school services to elementary, middle and high schools located within the city of Crystal Lake. We are here to help you and your students!

School Library Cards
Use a School Access Card (for D47 schools) or sign up for a special school card to get materials and resources to support classroom learning.

School Collections Requests
Fill out this form to request materials to use in your classroom or request multiple copies of the same book for book clubs (D47, grades K-8).

Online Resources
Share online resources with students for research and to get homework help. Add the North Suburban Digital Consortium to SORA to access more eBooks and audiobooks.

Classroom Visits, Field Trips, & School Nights
Invite library staff to visit your classroom or plan a field trip to the library. Visits can include story times, read-alouds, book talks or library resource instruction. Field trips can include a tour and a program or activity.  Library staff are also available for after school clubs, family nights, open houses and more.
